Biography
Thomas was born in Galilee, and he and Jude Thaddeus travelled to join Jesus and his Twelve Apostles during their traveling ministry. Thomas was at first skeptical when he heard of Jesus' resurrection, but he later confessed his faith upon seeing Jesus' wounded body. Afterwards, he travelled outside the Roman Empire to preach the Gospel, going as far as Tamil Nadu and Kerala in India. He reached Muziris in Kerala in 50 AD, baptizing several people. In 72 AD, he was martyred on St. Thomas Mount in Chennai by King Vasudeva I, and his relics were taken to Edessa.
